Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
It's actually the best tweak you can ever do, so I have read and learned. When you hear or imagine a flaw, walk away and take a few days perhaps even a week off from your system and when you return your critical faculty shall have switched back to... 
Grado Headphones
Check your iPod's Volume Limit setting in the Settings menu if it's not turned down. You can adjust it to your liking or set to max . Hope this helps. 
Suggestions how to repair these
Thank you, Richard. The shaft of the pots are metal but I'll try your suggestion too. I plan to work on it over the weekend. 
Suggestions how to repair these
Thank you, Mcfarland and Mr.M. I think I can handle the cleaning and that sort and if it doesn't work will send to a technician for replacement. 
Wadia 170iTransport and Cambridge DacMagic
That's correct, Darrens. It's the same as the 740C in terms of make. The difference, however, is that both the 740C and 840C upsamples data to 24-bit/384kHz, while the DacMagic to 24-bit/192kHz.

RIP Kenny Rankin
Oh man, I was just watching a DVD of him the other day. What a loss! I have fond memories of his music while in high school growing up in the 70's...oh well, up until now. 
Praise for DacMagic

DAC vs. New CDP
Sprink, I'm using the CA 540 v2 + DacMagic combo and I'm extremely pleased, I think you will be too. Be prepared to revisit all your CDs and have fun. And of course you can add your computer as second source.

Looking for opinions on Cambridge DACmagic DAC
The review matches my observation after using the DacMagic for almost a month now. However, I can't comment how it compares with other DACs, I can only comment about the improvement in my system. I listen mostly to SACDs and a few Redbook CDs. As ... 
DAC in a simple system?
The DACMagic lifted my modest system beautifully, even right out of the box. Yes it's a fantastic bargain with features I can grow into. I've long been curious whether the 24/192 DAC in my player can be improved with an outboard processor and I'm ...
